Litigation
​
In an ideal world, all disputes would be settled amicably. This is where we always begin. With negotiations and alternative means to resolving
your issues, such as mediation or arbitration. However, when there is no alternative, you need experienced counsel to fight for and defend your rights.

Bergsteins handles every type of civil litigation through all courts in Ontario, as well as in the Federal Court of Canada. Cost-effective satisfaction is our primary goal and we provide this to you by offering clear advice and
intelligent strategies developed through decades of experience in and out
of the courtroom.
Employment
​​
Whether it is your job or your business, the relationship between employer and employee is fundamental. We provide you with the proper foundation when beginning a relationship, as well as help you address your issues when a relationship breaks down.
We work closely with employers to create thorough employment and independent contractor agreements. This provides you with confidence in moving forward with your most important resources, your people. When relationships break down, we protect your rights and your obligations so you can efficiently transition your business.
